They couldve come up with better reasons than 'sports teacher will get you expelled' or 'old man will report to the authorities for tresspassing' especially when coming from you friends and family at the risk of being murdered by a supernatural serial killer.
that and this approach is no reason to neglect a main plot, whatever happened to the psychotic breakdowns that was all the rage 50 hours/5 ingame months ago? youd think these people just looking to use their powers for good would at least have a slight interest in the issue
Legit think thats just something they kept in because it was in a earlier trailer for the game, so just let it stay, even if whatever they planned for it didn't pan out.
You shouldn't really take the average level in consideration at all, because you don't know whether many of those players have been grinding or not.
Basically unless you've skipped a massive number of battles through the palace, you should always end up in the ideal level once you tackle the boss. Worst case scenario you'll be one level below (2 if you're playing on hard or higher).
There's 0 need to grind in this game unless you're out of money or materials.

Don't worry, the second half of the game is almost entirely devoted to those concepts.

I have a question about events 11/24 on. Please help if you've finished the game.
It seems to be the last palace with the politician guy. There was a message that popped up saying to make sure to spend time with people now. Should I not do the palace right away like I have been doing? Like is this my last time to do confidant stuff? Thanks!

He's the only boss in this game giving me a game over, since I really did not expect that kind of jump in difficulty considering the dungeon itself was a breeze.
Just make sure you have Mona's Media, Ann's Dekaja, and possibly Ryuji's rampage, ready, otherwise you're in for a rough time.
You can finish the dungeon early and you will get the free time afterwards, allowing you to raise up your confidant; however it is true that it is the last month that you can raise them, barring probably one or two extra days?

Your deadline is coming up for social links but you can do the palace as normal.
You can do the palace at any time like normal, but after the deadline for this palace, you (for all intents and purposes) won't get any more free time.

I don't think it's even possible to be underleveled. I'm playing on Hard difficulty and didn't do any grinding but after the quite challenging first dungeon the game became a bit too easy. Especially the bosses were a bit weak compared to P3/P4.
Nevertheless I'm enjoying the gameplay a lot. The battle system is the best in the main series. Though I liked Persona Q more in this regard. And I'm glad the dungeons are finally handcrafted. Some nice ideas.
The party and social links are nice but Persona 3 and 4 had much better events/interactions. The girls cooking event or the fights between Chie and Yusuke were so good and I'm missing the fun in P5. The dialogues are often too short and lack character.
But yea. Great game and after 100h ingame (12/23) I think Persona 5 will probably be my GotY. I've really missed the genre of classic AAA JRPGs.

You can, yeah. I think it'd still take awhile though since you restart NG+ at level 1, your party members are pretty useless and even on safety it probably takes awhile to really tackle.

This is a thing? Damn, I regret not going fishing now...
This is why you hang out with people.
I saw a screenshot of MC playing video games with Futaba in his room. Never saw that scene; I must have refused to hang out with Futaba one day or something. I think there were a lot of times I did that to do my own thing (mainly during summer vacation), so there are probably a bunch of unique scenes like this I missed out on.

Let it play out.
I only have 1/3 of those :/
I might just have to reset the week. Pain.
Alright cool. I just didn't know if I should go to Mementos now for another S.Link or just wait for his so that I can just do them both at once.

BTW even though hes a shit that link does have a nice moment in which
he had a complete change w/o the theifs help. "You mean......I.....I changed myself" You did kid...you did

Well out of those 3 I think you can make it without having Rampage (I did it without Rampage), it's just it would make it somewhat easier, though the boss' wind attacks can cause major headache to Ryuji.
Dekaja is a must though, I think. Not disabling the left eye's Tarukaja casting on the mouth is just way too devastating.

Makoto: You can't learn how to fight in a textbook. It's so invigorating.
Ryuji: You are a fist fighter, after all. Hell, you're manlier than I-- Uh, never mind.
Haha.

Finally finished the game at roughly 75 hours.
(ENDGAME)
The post-Persona depression was setting in, so I went and watched Ocean's Eleven, for totally unrelated reasons.
(ENDGAME)
Even on normal, I didn't get killed or anything on the last dungeon+bosses. I'm like lvl. 68-70, but somehow the fights were a cakewalk.
Haru is a BEAST at the endgame.
The most difficult thing to deal with was long things get, but that's on me marathoning the last day rather than the game itself.
I get the complaints that it's too long, but considering that the whole game took weeks to play, I'd be disappointed if the credits rolled 10 minutes after the boss fight.
I loved, loved, loved, the ending! It's more subdued than P4, but the themes and the inspiring message really resonated with me much more.

This is one of the bad side effects of using the fortune reading to advance social links. You will miss hangout moment with characters compared to when you choose to spend time with them to reach the level up point while seeing events like this.
Just got to
after 85 hours. It's really strange but it feels like P5 is shorter than P3 and P4 despite that obviously not be the case. P3 took me 92 hours but that was getting the true ending + deliberate grinding to max out my characters. Persona 4 took me 85 hours true ending and all. P5 is probably going to take me well over 100 hours when its all said and done.
Palace 6
Lmao.
Basically the only thing left for the plat is finishing up the compendium(It's at about 80% at the moment) so I was going through lower level Personas I was missing. I merged two under level 10s and I finally got my first 'failure'. The game gave me a level 81 Uriel.
I didn't actually have that. Thanks game!

Palace 7 Question
Also Futaba's Final Guard is amazing.
Can I secure the route on the 16th and sent the calling card on the 17th like normal? Or will it take more days like the Casino thing with going to a trial?

Man, I think I'd care about Haru a little more if she had been given a different struggle to begin with,
her motivation for a lot of things being to take revenge for/be a worthy successor of her father, Donald Trump lite, makes it really hard to sympathize with her lmao.
"We'll show you what we're made of!
Haru: This is for my father!
"Uuh... Yeah sure, that too!"
Like obviously I feel bad for her, bur at the same time it's like lol your dad was a piece of shit, keep him out of this, girl.

Does Palace
boot you out at all? I'm trying to Max my Confidants before I go in since I'm close and I might as well enjoy the bonuses but I'm afraid I'll enter and end up losing two extra days aside from the Calling Card.

Only the very (forced by the plot) first time in, when you learn you have to get 5 letters of recommendation. Once you can go in freely, you don't get kicked again.

What I want to know is where in the world to go fishing.
I haven't gone fishing once and I'm afraid it's just something I've missed entirely so far lmao. Unless it's just during little events like this.
I just didn't have a TV/game console until it was too late lol
you have to unlock that location, don't know if there is any other way but i unlocked it during the event pictured above.
I unlocked it with a book. Don't remember where I bought it though.

Cool. Hopefully I'm able to max out both Iwai and Sojiro by then.

The problem is that they made the decision to put pretty much all the free days outside of like a dozen into the "complete the palace by x day" sections. I'd much rather have a few free days interspersed with story and 18 days to do the palace rather than no free days during story stuff but 24 days to do the palace.
The problem is that you have almost no incentive whatsoever to do palaces in more than one go, so you do all of your battle time in one massive chunk and then you're left with crazy long times without any actual battling. Then the entire point of the game is for your to choose what's best to do each time, but they fill days up with pointless shit and don't let you do much of anything for huge periods of time sometimes. And then they break patterns without telling you, too.
So in my case I beat a palace the first day, because that's what was best to do and then didn't go into mementos because it would expand after a change of heart. Little did I know that after that change I would be locked out of Mementos for nearly a month meaning I'd be without any real battling for like 9 or 10 hours of time.
They really need to bring back the tired mechanic and then just give players the option of doing other shit during the times they blocked out now. Force people to actually do palaces in a spread out manner, like 3 chunks or so. Mementos, too. Because of the way things are, honestly this is some of the worst pacing I've ever had in a game, and it's really amazing to me it scored as high as it did. Don't get me wrong I probably would still give it a 9, but I don't really expect mainstream reviewers to give this ridiculously much leeway on some glaring problems like this.
